I've heard great praise for Dune, and I'm reading the first book now. Which lead me to question whether they're all worth reading. Do they get better as it progresses?

The Second In The Series
The second novel, Dune Messiah, is the series' shortest book and was considered by many to be highly disappointing upon its release. Set 12 years after the events in Dune, Paul Atreides is now worshiped all over the known universe and continues his reign as Emperor. Paul spends most of the book in a deep depression, feeling like he has lost control of his influence over the universe because a massive, prophesied jihad led by Dune's Fremen people is violently killing billions in Paul's name. D...
The Sixth And Final Book In The Series
Written just a year after the series' previous installment is Chapterhouse: Dune. The planet Rakis (formerly Arrakis) has been completely destroyed, making Chapterhouse: Dune the only book in the series to take place on an entirely different planet. Being that the Dune books span millennia, readers have to connect with characters and elements introduced sometimes well into the series. However, what remains constant in the series are the Bene Gesserit order, and Duncan Idaho, who is debatably...
The Fifth In The Series
Heretics of Dune takes place 1500 years after God Emperor of Dune's heavily built-up events. Making their return are Dune's iconic sandworms, which were essentially extinct in God Emperor of Dune. Due to there being so many new characters introduced in Heretics of Dune, it can make the reader feel like having to switch gears in the series upon first getting into the book. Even the planet names change slightly due to so much time passing in Dune's universe, so it can be difficult to fully enga...
The Third In The Series
Children of Dune is perhaps the most divisive book of the series, but it builds Dune up to be the epic series that it is. Paul Atreides plays a nearly non-existent role as the series shifts its focus to his children, Leto II and Ghanima. Dune's melange drug in utero — combined with Paul's Kwizatz Haderach influence — made Leto and Ghanima pre-born, connecting them to millions of past lives. More is discovered about the sandworms and the purpose they serve in creating melange, which launches m...
The Fourth Of The Series
God Emperor of Dune is by far the most philosophy-centric of the Dune books. Having its philosophy's mouthpiece be Leto II as a giant, 3,500-year-old omnipotent man-worm makes for sci-fi at its most bizarre. Duncan Idaho has higher prominence in the book, something that Jason Momoa's Duncan Idaho gives more potential to than previous adaptations. His role is to serve Leto II's vague Golden Path, which causes questions and disagreements warring with Duncan's fierce loyalty to House Atreides an...
First In The Series
Dune is the ultimate foundation for so much to come in the series. Despite Dune's cliffhanger ending, it still works so well as a standalone novel about a young man moving to a new planet and having everything in his life change. Fighting over Dune's melange spice, houses around the galaxy plot ways to gain control over the most precious resource in the universe. From the famous Litany Against Fear to its extensive world-building, Dune's 617 pages are bursting with iconic lines, scenes, chara...

Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the “spice” melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness.
